Weekly Wisdom: What Is the Basis of the Whole Creation?

This happens on the basis of some energy, some principle. What’s that principle? What’s the basis of the whole creation? 

A movie is projected on the screen. What is the screen on which life’s movie is being projected? That basic substratum of creation, in which the creation and mind are sustained and the life force is functioning, from where we feel love, is the higher self. 

The five elements

The four elements in creation, earth, water, fire, and ether are sustained by the fifth element, space. We categorize three types of space:

• The physical space where the heavenly bodies float. 
• The space where thoughts move. 
• The space which is consciousness itself. 

Consciousness is all-permeating. It’s there, everywhere. So the higher self is everywhere and it’s the basis of this whole creation. But you might think it’s stagnant. No, it’s not stagnant! It’s not a dead space. The space is scintillating and so lively!
